“In brightest day, in blackest night. No evil shall… escape my sight.” If you instantly recognize those words, you either were at the Green Lantern panel, saw our coverage, or are a really big Lantern fan; maybe all three. Regardless, Warner Bros. has just released high quality images of the posters that Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, and Mark Strong were signing on Saturday on the floor of Comic-Con. Those words are just the first half of the famous Green Lantern oath that Hal Jordan takes when he becomes one of the numerous Lanterns. After the jump, check out all four posters coupled with a plot synopsis, release date, and the full oath.

Below is Hal Jordan’s Green Lantern oath, which was repeated from memory by Ryan Reynolds at the Green Lantern panel in Hall H when a little boy asked him what it was like to say it. You can view the footage after the quote.

“In brightest day, in blackest night,

No evil shall escape my sight.

Let those who worship evil’s might,

Beware my power… Green Lantern’s light!”

Here’s footage of the Green Lantern panel at Comic-Con:

And here’s the official synopsis:

Bringing the enduringly popular superhero to the big screen for the first time, “Green Lantern” stars Ryan Reynolds (“X-Men Origins: Wolverine”) in the title role, under the direction of Martin Campbell (“Casino Royale”).

In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.

Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax…he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.

Campbell directs “Green Lantern” from a screenplay by Greg Berlanti & Michael Green & Marc Guggenheim and Michael Goldenberg, story by Greg Berlanti & Michael Green & Marc Guggenheim, based upon characters appearing in comic books published by DC Comics.

The film also stars Blake Lively (upcoming “The Town,” TV’s “Gossip Girl”) as the spirited Carol Ferris, a test pilot and the heir apparent to her father’s aviation company; Peter Sarsgaard (“An Education,” “Flightplan”) as scientist Dr. Hector Hammond; Mark Strong (“Sherlock Holmes”) as Sinestro, Jordan’s powerful mentor in the Green Lantern Corps; Jay O. Sanders (“Revolutionary Road”) as Carl Ferris, Carol’s aircraft designer dad; Temuera Morrison (“Star Wars” Episodes II and III) as Abin Sur, Jordan’s alien predecessor; Taika Waititi (TV’s “The Flight of the Conchords”) as flight navigator Tom Kalmaku, Hal’s good friend and confidante; Academy Award® nominee Angela Bassett (“What’s Love Got to Do with It”) as enigmatic government scientist Amanda Waller; and Academy Award® winner Tim Robbins (“Mystic River”) as Hector’s influential father, Senator Robert Hammond.

The film is being produced by Donald De Line (“The Italian Job”) and Greg Berlanti (upcoming “Life As We Know It”). Herbert W. Gains and Andrew Haas serve as executive producers. Geoff Johns and Lucienne Papon are co-producing.

The film’s behind-the-scenes creative team is led by a number of Academy Award® winners, including director of photography Dion Beebe (“Memoirs of a Geisha”), production designer Grant Major (“The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King”), and costume designer Ngila Dickson (“The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King”), as well as Oscar®-nominated editor and longtime Campbell collaborator, Stuart Baird (“Gorillas in the Mist,” “Superman”). The film’s visual effects are being overseen by Oscar®-nominee Kent Houston (“The Adventures of Baron Von Munchausen,” “Casino Royale”).

The film is currently scheduled for release in 3D and 2D on June 17, 2011. “Green Lantern” will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

    I don't like Blake Lively in Green Lantern. She's hot, sure, but she isn't a very good actress. I mean, I watch Gossip Girl, and there are some actors in it that aren't very good, but she's specially bad.
  • Nice Posters! Can't wait to see Ryan and Mark's full body costume shots of GL and Sinestro:D
  • Love the fade to yellow in the Green Lantern Symbol in the Sinestro/Dr. Hector Hammond poster.

    yes -- you choose a good way to show the posters -- well done
  • I weeped like a school girl listening to him say the oath. I can't wait for this movie
  • Reynolds definitely got into character when he spoke the oath, it gave me chills. It was great panel and I'm super stoked about this film. The footage looked amazing and I truly hope that this movie is a hit and opens the flood gates for sequels and films for the other great DC characters.
